    27 Useful Things That’ll Make Doing Everyday Chores Suck Less

    Most of them are under $25!

    1. A set of colourful waterbottle sponges that will clean your canteen without any fancy brushes or maneuvering. You just pop them right into your bottle, shake them around with some soap and water, and voila! You're donezo.

    2. A set of tie-free shoe laces that'll transform your runners into slip-ons. They'll make putting on your shoes quicker and easier, so you won't even have to tie your laces to take out the trash.

    3. A divided laundry bag that'll make an easy job of separating your darks, brights, lights, and gym clothes. It has a handy carrying strap, so lugging it from your apartment to your laundry room will be less of a chore, too.

    4. A set of hypoallergenic, reusable hedgehog dryer balls to help soften your clothes and make them dry faster. Good for the environment and great for your hydro bill!

    5. A tub of Groove Goo that'll help you gently peel the dust and debris off your records (and other delicate surfaces) without scuffing them. Reviewers say it smells amazing and is, like, stupid fun to play with.

    6. A poop bag dispenser that'll make cleaning up your dog's business less of a hassle. It's got a clip handle, so you can keep it attached to your leash or your jack for easy access.

    7. A set of cat sponges that'll clear away hardened food from your dishes without a ton of elbow grease. These kittens are hard on built-up grime, but easy on your dishes, so you don't have to worry about scratching your favourite plates.

    8. A machine-washable microfibre duster that'll trap all those pesky dirt particles, leaving your space cleaner than ever. If you've been sneezing up a storm thanks to all the gross stuff floating around your home, it may be time to invest in one of these.

    9. A wooden brush that'll get all the nasties off your fruits and veggies before you take a bite. The circular handle makes it easy to grip, so you can really get into all their nooks and crannies.

    10. A handheld fabric shaver that'll remove lint and pilled fabric that's accumulated on your carpet, furniture, clothes, and everything in between. You could easily spend hours de-pilling all your stuff with this little guy, and you'll be thankful you did.

    11. A set of double-sided shower curtain rings that hang your shower curtain and liner on different prongs, making them easy to remove or switch out. Reviewers love that they don't have to fight to take both curtains off a single hook, and say they glide smoothly across a shower rod.

    12. A spinning makeup brush cleaner that magically removes the built-up product from your beauty tools in minutes — and dries them, too! Now you won't have to waste your precious hours of leisure scrubbing them down with your own two hands.

    13. A bottle of dishwashing liquid that's made of 97% natural ingredients and won't irritate sensitive skin. It smells like bergamot, basil, and verbena, which is a lot nicer than most synthetic dishwashing liquid scents.

    14. A kitchen mat that'll act like a cushion at the bottom of your sink to keep your dishes from clanging against hard surfaces and getting damaged. It'll also save bits of food from finding their way into your pipes, so you won't need to use a full bottle of Drano to get things flowing smoothly (again).

    15. An Umbra dish-drying rack that's massive enough to fit a full load of clean dishes and folds up for easy storage. It has its own plastic dish rack, so it can hold plates and bowls in their upright positions, too.

    16. A garment bush that'll easily remove all the pet hair (and other stuff) from your clothes, so you don't walk around looking like a yeti. It has a self-cleaning base that gets all the hair off the brush before you go in for another swipe.

    17. A set of expandable drawer dividers that'll make your dresser store-level tidy. You can also use them in the kitchen to organize all your cooking doodads.

    18. A sturdy jute tote bag that's a fashionable and reusable alternative to a plastic bag. It has strong, reinforced canvas handles that won't break on you, even when you're carrying a full haul of groceries.

    19. A pair of mesh wash bags that'll keep your delicates from destroying themselves in your washing machine. Cashmere sweater? Lace undies? Silk bralette? You can wash it all safely in one of these.

    20. A bamboo broom with ultra-thick bristles that'll actually pick the dust bunnies living under your couch, instead of just moving them around. It's made of natural materials and won't look hideous hanging in your kitchen.

    21. A starfish-shaped drain cover that’ll trap hair before it gets into your pipes, keeping them clog free. It may actually save you from hiring a plumber and fighting with your roommate over who's going to clean all of the gross stuff out of your bathtub (a win-win in my book).

    22. A ventilated bamboo compost bin that'll keep your food waste from stinking up your garbage can when you clean out your fridge. The bin itself is biodegradable, so you won't be adding to landfills when you finally need to throw it out.

    23. A mini neon speaker that you can tote around with you while you clean your whole house. It's totally waterproof, so you don't have to worry about splashing it while you're doing the dishes or scrubbing down your shower.

    24. A baby pink handheld steamer, because, let's face it, your clothes live in a wrinkly pile on the floor and that's not changing anytime soon. It's gentler on your garments than an iron and will get rid of unwanted pleats with just a few strokes. Now you won't look like a total mess at your next Zoom meeting.

    25. A dual-ended device-cleaning doodad that can sweep your keyboard and wipe your screen, leaving you with a spotless laptop. Goodbye, fingerprints and cookie crumbs, see you never!

    26. A set of sponge cloths made from wood pulp to clean up all those messes you've been ignoring, without even touching paper towel. They can absorb about 15 times their weight in water, making them real saviours for cooking crises and wine spills.

    27. And finally, a dry erase calendar where you can write down your when your chores absolutely need to get done. It's magnetic, so you can attach important prescriptions and memos to it as well.
